Article Synopsis
  • Research shows a correlation between the gut microbiome and the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, specifically for CAR T cell patients.
  • The study identifies pentanoate, a metabolite from commensal bacteria, as a key factor that enhances patient survival by improving CAR T cell performance in challenging tumor environments.
  • Findings suggest that incorporating microbial metabolites like pentanoate into CAR T cell manufacturing can exploit metabolic pathways and epigenetic changes to enhance treatment outcomes.

Context: Two-thirds of metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients have radioiodine (RAI)-resistant disease, resulting in poor prognosis and high mortality. For rare NTRK and RET fusion-positive metastatic, RAI-resistant thyroid cancers, variable success of re-induction of RAI avidity during treatment with NTRK or RET inhibitors has been reported.

Case Presentation And Results: We report two cases with RAI-resistant lung metastases treated with larotrectinib: an 83-year-old male presenting with an ETV6::NTRK3 fusion-positive tumor with the TERT promoter mutation c.

The Gram-positive genus harbors economically important plant pathogens infecting a variety of agricultural crops, such as potato, tomato, corn, barley, etc. Here, we report five new genome sequences, those of strains CFIA-Cs3N, CFIA-CsR14, LMG 3663, LMG 7333, and ATCC 33566, from different subspecies of All these genomic data will be used for reclassification and niche-adapted feature comparisons.
